Bought this vacuum at Sam's 6 weeks ago. Used it 3 times. Brush roller quit working. Took it apart and found busted belt! Contacted Bissell Customer Service and they will send me a one time replacement belt. You might want to stock up on belts, especially if they only last short time!

Note: does not have light; very cheap plastic housing and hose; brush/beater continues to turn when using attachments on hose---this is real problem whether using stair attachment or other and base-brush continues to turn where it sits fuzzing up carpet, etc---you have to tilt main unit to lift brushhead off surface; then the On/Off is a kick-button hard to reach often when using attachments. I returned the unit. The stair attachment seems like it would be helpful but only on stairs due to the angle it fits on the hose, and then you have to deal with the brush base continuing to turn - Ugh!

I'd bought a Dyson approximately 4-5 years ago. I was impressed at first, but it kept breaking down in one way or another and I couldn't use the wand after a year of use. So far I'm as happy as can be with the Bissel!! The suction beats what my Dyson ever did. $110 versus a $450 paperweight? There's no comparison in my books!!

I have had Dyson's for over 20 years. I bought this Bissell for my daughter and wanted to cut back on cost. She has used it for six weeks and says it cleans well enough but doesn't have the suction of a Dyson. The ball is awful and would never want another vacuum with it. Fine for now as long as it doesn't cause problems which from most of the reviews seems like we have in our future.

I love the cord rewind but our Golden Retriever was too much for it. I had to change the belt nearly every week because there was so much hair that it clogged the machine, and led to the belt breaking. This machine is good for pets that are not super shedders.

Picks up well, a little heavy which wears your arm out while using it

I'm in love with this vaccum! It picks up everything and I have cleaner carpets!

Lighter than I thought, powerful, works great

Great and affordable! Love the retractable cord feature.

Love the vacuum! Easy to put together and and has a powerful suction!
